Accommodation at Jaci’s Private Lodge includes 10 newly redesigned safari suites overlooking the river and bushveld, each offering private decks, sunken lounge areas and serene interiors that encourage guests to slow down and immerse themselves in nature. For families and groups, 3 exclusive-use villas include Kubu Villa, Nare Villa and Jaci’s Madikwe House, all featuring private pools, generous living spaces and dedicated teams for a fully personalised safari experience.

Elevated decks, water-level hides and immersive bush spaces are thoughtfully positioned throughout the lodge, allowing guests to observe wildlife from unique vantage points and experience Madikwe’s landscapes up close. From quiet moments overlooking wetlands to unforgettable encounters at the water’s edge, Jaci’s Private Lodge offers a deeply connected Big Five safari experience in one of South Africa’s premier game reserves.

The lodge’s refreshed design introduces a calm, contemporary bush aesthetic inspired by the natural colours and textures of Madikwe. Earthy tones, layered materials and light-filled spaces create a sense of relaxed luxury that remains deeply connected to the surrounding wilderness. While the look has evolved, the atmosphere remains unmistakably Jaci’s – warm, welcoming and rooted in authentic safari living.

Jaci’s Private Lodge accommodates children of all ages.
